2 Tooth Gemmer Steering Gear

Posted by Kevin Daly on May 08, 1998 at 08:41:19

Hello Everyone,
I'm restoring my 1930 Gemmer 2 tooth steering gear.In looking at all of my original ford documentation on proper adjustments, no where do I see any lockwashers.The vendor diagrams show complete sets of lockwashers for the sector gear housing studs, sector shaft adjusting screw on the back, the upper bearing race adjustment...They also list them as a requirement.I would like to know if in fact these lockwashers were there originally used,if they are just aftermarket improvements or maybe used by Ford in later years.By the way my car is a 1930 coupe and the gear has a large cast F on the side as well as the word Gemmer. I beleive this was a Ford product licensed under Gemmer.I would appreciate all the help you can give.Also I'm installing a complete engine with transmission into my car with the body alraeady mounted.I have also installed new rubber pads behind the rear engine mounts and the frame must be slightly spread to accept the width of the flywheel housing.How do I do this without the stretching apparatus getting in the way of the tranny.I look forward to your responses.
Thank You very much,
Kevin Daly
